Garlic Pork Tenderloin

We had this at an enrichment meeting, and it was delish. The woman who made it used the cranberries and pistachios to stuff it. I don't normally like pork, but this was so tender and tasty.

Garlic Pork Tenderloin

1 T. vinegar (any, but I use rice wine or white wine vinegar)

2 t. fresh, chopped rosemary

½ t. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

2 cloves garlic, crushed/chopped

2-3 lbs. pork tenderloin

Combine oil, vinegar and spices, stir well. Put pork in Ziploc bag with mixture; chill for a few hours. Grill or cook--325 degrees (till juices run clear).

For special look, butterfly the marinated pork and stuff with cranberries, pistachio nuts, apricots, mushrooms, etc.

Marinade for Flank Steak

Marinade for Flank Steak (in response to favorite beef recipe)
1/2 c. veg oil
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 TBsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp minced garlic cloves
1/4 tsp pepper.

Mix all ingredients together. I usually buy the packs of two flank steaks at Costco. Score the meat on both sides in a diamond shape- then put each in a freezer bag and pour 1/2 the mixture over each. Stash in freezer. Pull out on Saturday morning and put in the refrigerator to thaw. Then grill or broil on each side 7-10 minutes. It should be red-pink in the middle.

Hummus

I think I sent to this you already- have you tried it yet? It's pretty good for how simple it is- most Hummus recipes are more complicated.

Hummus

2 cloves garlic
2 can garbanzo beans, drained
juice of 1 lemon
1t. salt
drizzle in olive oil to desired consistency

Blend together in food processor and serve w/ chips
and veggies.

She also typically adds about 4 T of raw tahini. It tasted
quite good w/o it, but if you like a stronger flavor, add tahini.

Request......Hummus
